Kishi Chikudō Boxed Notecards

During his lifetime, Kishi Chikudō; (1826–1897) was regarded as one of the three greatest painters in Kyoto, Japan. Following the practice of shasei (sketching from life), Chikudō painted other animals, cherry blossoms, birds, flowers, and moonlit scenes. He employed the tsuketate technique, in which a soft, finely tapered wet brush is applied directly to silk with a flourish to create shading and three-dimensionality.
